lyrics

I’m walking home and it’s getting dark
And the other one is free
She’s taking care she’s following
She towers over me

She’s keeping back to the shadows
Though she’s rarely perceived
There’s no one on the street with us
And I turn to my old steed
It’s been so many years and now
She’s over twenty feet

And oh, she takes me up to the sky
We fly the rest of the night
Farther up than ever before

I see her more and more again
Wherever I’m alone
We rest on lonely mountain-tops
To the north of Monaco
In these moments taking in
The view she seems to glow

And oh, she takes me up to the sky
We fly to desolate isles
Places I had never known

Tonight I see her waiting there
In the middle of our field
She seems a little restless
Like she has a truth concealed
Nonetheless, she bows and I
Get on my dragon’s seat

And oh, she takes me up to the sky
And cries a mournful cry
Takes me back to the falling leaves

We set down in this darkened place
Of memories dead and gone
I fled this world a lifetime past
To the Rock of Monaco
Time has passed and I am old
And I just want to go

And oh, she takes me up to the sky
We fly like the first time
Free to never again be blue

Meet my friend
Her name’s unknown
I met her when
I wasn’t grown
She takes me here
She takes me there
She always cares
We’re quite a pair
She flies
